The following report is by the New York Times (excerpts):
The shift comes as the Pentagon believes China’s stockpiles will rival the size and diversity of the United States’ and Russia’s over the next decade.
The White House never announced that Mr. Biden had approved the revised strategy, called the “Nuclear Employment Guidance,” which also seeks, for the first time, to prepare the United States for possible coordinated nuclear challenges from China, Russia and North Korea. The document, updated every four years or so, is so highly classified that there are no electronic copies, only a small number of hard copies distributed to a select few national security officials and Pentagon commanders.
But in recent speeches, two senior administration officials were allowed to allude to the change — in carefully constrained, single sentences — ahead of a more detailed, unclassified notification to Congress expected before Mr. Biden leaves office.
“The president recently issued updated nuclear-weapons employment guidance to account for multiple nuclear-armed adversaries,” Vipin Narang, an M.I.T. nuclear strategist who served in the Pentagon, said earlier this month before returning to academia. “And in particular,” he added, the weapons guidance accounted for “the significant increase in the size and diversity” of China’s nuclear arsenal.
In June, the National Security Council’s senior director for arms control and nonproliferation, Pranay Vaddi, also referred to the document, the first to examine in detail whether the United States is prepared to respond to multiple nuclear crises that break out simultaneously or sequentially, with a combination of nuclear and nonnuclear weapons. The new strategy, he said, emphasizes “the need to deter Russia, the PRC, and North Korea simultaneously,” using the acronym for the People’s Republic of China.
The new document is a stark reminder that whoever is sworn in next Jan. 20 will confront a changed and far more volatile nuclear landscape than the one that existed just three years ago.
The new challenge is “the real possibility of collaboration and even collusion between our nuclear-armed adversaries,” [Vipin Narang, an M.I.T. nuclear strategist who served in the Pentagon], said.
There is another concern about Beijing: It has now halted a short-lived conversation with the United States about improving nuclear safety and security — for example, by agreeing to warn each other of impending missile tests, or setting up hotlines or other means of communication to assure that incidents or accidents do not escalate into nuclear encounters.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
“Biden” did not approve of anything: his handlers did. At any rate, the world is slowly and methodically being pushed into broader and destructive war. It’s already forecast by some military officials that we will be at war with China by 2025.

Biden Reveals US Is ‘Not Ruling Out’ Boots On The Ground If China Invades Taiwan
Chinese military officials have declared that the U.S. is “war addicts,” and they are, sadly, very correct in that assessment. SEE: Chinese Military Officials Calls The US ‘War Addicts’ And ‘Fundamental Source Of International Disorder.’ Russia Concurs
The U.S. are war addicts. The country has existed for 240 years, and only 16 years it did not go to war. The U.S. has established over 800 overseas military bases in more than 80 countries and regions, from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Syria to Libya.
Wherever the US military goes, people die everywhere.
Facts have proved that the US is the fundamental source of international disorder and the biggest disrupter of regional peace and stability.
Ministry of National Defense of the People’s Republic of China spokesperson Wu Qian, said
Also, from that report:
He went on to clarify that their reasoning for expanding their military’s size and power is to deal with “severe and complex” international security environment. “The Chinese military will never sit idly by while our national sovereignty, security and development interests are threatened, and we will never allow anyone or any force to invade or divide China,” he said. Qian added that China is focused on shoring up national defenses.
He also pointed out that while China maintains their “nuclear capabilities at the lowest level required for national security and was committed to maintaining global strategic security,” the U.S. has pulled out of and adulterated nuclear weapons treaties as to maintain their preeminence.
The U.S. double standard in its nuclear strategy is just an excuse for expanding its nuclear arsenal and maintaining military hegemony.
He explained
As I said, the world is being pushed into more war; but the masses are more concerned with Taylor Swift’s latest boyfriend.
Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Also, a nuclear missile strike is pending on America – New York City being the biggest potential target.
Quite frankly and I’m going to be as subtle as a bullhorn: I hope Chicago gets a nuclear missile after that horrendous hell-spawned evil the DNC committed with their mobile abortion murder clinics! Chicago needs to become a nuclear strike zone and a ghost city!
And like you said brother Jacob I LOVE your sarcasm, they care more about Taylor Swift’s latest boyfriend. How many boyfriends has HE had, 56? 58?
Also, bread and circus (football) season is coming, so America will be caring more about the Cowboys, the Giants, the Bears, the Bengals, the Chiefs, the Colts, the Falcons and so on.
They finally figured out that China was more of a threat than Russia. Wonders will never cease.
Big sarcasm: Ole Joe to Mrs. Biden, see I signed that nuc thingy; now where’s my cookie and juice box, ura dur da de.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Joe to his wife: Yay I signed an order all by myself! Can I go to McDonald’s?
I thought McDonald’s was Trump’s territory. It doesn’t really matter: the blue liberal left wing beats together against the red fascist wing, the Phoenix rises higher & higher, and those blind by choice get closer to their final destination in the pit. Meanwhile, the rest of us wait for the blessed hope and pray that we are to escape what is happening and more for what is yet to come.
Is this legacy version of Biden still functioning anymore? This old shell probably has 10 people to move him and his members around. Weekend at Bernie’s.
